Hydrogen-stimulated CO₂ fixation and coordinate derepression of hydrogenase and ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase in a H₂-uptake positive strain of Rhizobium japonicum

Creator:: Simpson, Frank Berry
Abstract:: H₂-uptake positive strains (122 DES and SR) and H₂-uptake negative strains SR2 and SR3 of Rhizobium japonicum were examined for ribulosebisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase and H₂-uptake activities during growth conditions which induced formation of the hydrogenase system. The rate of ¹⁴CO₂ uptake by hydrogenase-induced cells was about six times greater in...

Ethylene production from cultures of Cylindrocladium and from Cylindrocladium-infected azalea leaves

Creator:: Axelrood, Paige Ellen
Abstract:: Ethylene was produced by Cylindrocladium floridanum and C. scoparium in culture. Production was methionine dependent and maximal during the active growth phase of the fungus, beginning shortly after spore germination. More ethylene was produced sooner by C. floridanum than C. scoparium. Ethylene was produced by Cylindrocladium both from active mycelium...
